The original cluster-pays gold mining game. Form clusters of gold symbols to win and trigger the Cash The Gold respin feature for escalating prizes.
Cash The Gold is the pioneering cluster-pays slot that started a popular series, focusing on the thrill of a gold rush. The game is set in a rugged mine, with symbols representing different forms of gold: nuggets, dust, bars, and ore. The visual style is satisfyingly chunky, with symbols that look tangible. The soundtrack is a mix of adventurous tunes and the satisfying crunch of rock and gold, creating an immersive prospecting atmosphere.
Wins are formed by landing groups of 5 or more matching gold symbols adjacent to each other (clusters). The key feature is the “Cash The Gold” respin. When a winning cluster forms and vanishes, any gold nugget symbols that were adjacent to it are held in place, and the rest of the grid respins. This can chain multiple times, with each new cluster locking more nuggets, potentially leading to a screen full of gold and a massive payout.
This high-volatility slot has a maximum win of x1,500 and uses the cluster-pays system (No Lines). The RTP is a strong 97.3%. Its appeal lies in the simple yet addictive chain-reaction gameplay, where a single cluster can trigger a sequence of holds and respins that escalate the win exponentially. It’s a classic for fans of non-linear win mechanics and gold rush themes.
Q: How does this differ from the ‘Hold and Win’ version?
A> This version likely uses a different primary bonus mechanic, such as free spins or an interactive click-and-reveal game, to achieve the goal of ‘cashing the gold’. The theme of converting gold to cash remains.
Q: Is it a ‘No Lines’ game as well?
A> The file indicates ‘No Lines’ for this title too, so it likely uses a cluster pays or megaways-style system where wins are formed by groups of adjacent symbols.
